Car colors, right now, are in . Too many beautiful vehicles are stuck wearing drab white, boring black, or — god forbid — Nardo Gray. Folks, we can do better. In fact, we deserve better. We deserve , hues that dazzle the mind and shout from the rooftops that this is no rented vehicle. We deserve , and its over 150 colors.

BMWs are often seen in the least offensive of shades, but the company seems interested in bringing a bit more life to its lineup. The company has offered the Individual paint process since 1999, but this new configurator is meant to shed a bit more light on the options, giving people a taste of the myriad colors they can paint their Bimmer with.

Individual, however, is no simple paint-and-upcharge combo. Every car purchased through the program is hand-painted, either in BMW’s Landshut plant or — in the case of U.S.-built crossovers — here in the States.

But with so many colors to pick from, which do you choose? True Jalops might go for any of BMW’s seven brown tones, but I’m more interested in the company’s 11 purples. My pick, P28 Twilight Purple Pearl Metallic, is the closest to Porsche’s Viola Purple that I can get, and thus the closest BMW will ever be to perfection.

and pick out your favorite colors, then show them off in the comments. If you can beat Twilight Purple, I’ll commend you, but I’m not convinced it can be done.

At $950, Would You Go All-In On This 1984 Plymouth Colt GTS Turbo Project?
One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...

At $8,600, Would You Go Topless In This 1994 Cadillac Eldorado?
The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

At $18,500, Would You Lean Toward Buying This 2022 Ford Mustang?
Today’s Mustang is being sold by a towing yard, which means it’s probably a lien sale. Let’s see if this clean title convertible is priced to put a new buyer on the hook. The general consensus on last Friday’s was that it would be the perfect car for someone...
